Why Monoculture is a bad thing


On this residential street in West Henrietta, NY, each property was planted with at least two street trees. In this case about 99% of the trees planted were ash. Every one of these trees will be devastated by the Emerald Ash Borer in the coming years and, if not treated, will need to be removed. What will this street look like without these trees?
